Glaive LLC currently has 1 pending office action within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. This single action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, LE, KHOA TAN, and is located within 1 distinct art unit. Consequently, LE, KHOA TAN is the busiest examiner for the company, with 1 pending action under his review. This represents a total concentration of the company's current prosecution work under a single individual.
For a practitioner, the prosecution experience is highly centralized. The strategy is entirely focused on the single art unit and the specific requirements of LE, KHOA TAN. The Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering designation suggests that the matter involves technical subject matter common to that USPTO division. With only 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit involved, there is no internal baseline for comparison within the company's current data. The outcome of the 1 pending office action will be determined by the interaction between the applicant and this single examiner. This requires a precise approach tailored to the examiner's individual style and the standards of the 1 distinct art unit.
Difficulty is derived from the rejection statutes on the most recent pending office action. §101-driven and multi-statute cases are graded Hard; §112-only and obviousness-type double-patenting cases are graded Easy; everything else is Medium. "Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.
